Soccer Picks: Juventus vs. Napoli Tips & Odds

Serie A enters week 12 and on the cards is a highly anticipated clash between two title favourites this season, Juventus vs. Napoli. Soccer odds are in full swing so check out what the markets have to offer and where the value soccer picks are to be had.

The
match of the week in Serie A

The clash between Napoli and Juventus in Torino
is arguably the match of the week in Serie
A betting markets. Both are dead even on 28 points after 11 rounds of Serie
A with the former ranked just ahead, in second place, by virtue of a better goal
differential. Both have tasted defeat just once this season – curiously enough
they did so in the exact same week – and both have succumbed to the draw only
once, way back in September. Importantly, neither will want to fall too far behind
pacesetting Roma, who are enjoying a standout season and already own a
three-point lead in the title race.

Clearly, something is going to have to give
on Sunday when these two sides collide in Juventus Stadium in Torino. But the
question is which side will it be? Will the hosts prevail; come through on
their favourable soccer odds? Or
will Napoli turn the markets on its head?

Odds makers send Juventus into this clash
as the strong favourites at -138 to win outright at Bet365 while severely underrating Napoli at +375 soccer odds to win on the road. The draw meanwhile
is listed at +260.

Juventus is after a positive result in Champions League, forcing a 2-2 draw on
Real Madrid that went a long way towards salvaging their European campaign,
for the time being at least. Of course a victory over Real Madrid would have
been a much better result. But they’ll take what they can get. It’s a positive
result nonetheless that should go some way towards sending them into this
crucial domestic clash with measured optimism.

Napoli will be the toughest test Juventus
faces to date in Serie A and fortunately for the Bianconeri they are currently enjoying
a positive run of form in Serie A, since a 4-2 defeat to Fiorentina they have
won three straight all the while maintaining a clean sheet in each. Moreover,
they boast a perfect 5-0-0 record at home, a record they’ll be looking to
extend at the expense of Napoli.

Napoli however will be no pushover despite
the hefty +375 odds to win outright that frankly smack of disrespect. Napoli
are on a five-game winning streak across all competitions, three-game winning
streak in Serie A since their only loss on the season, a 2-0 defeat at Roma.
Overall, Napoli are 4-0-1 on the road.

Soccer
Betting Verdict: Very little separates these two
sides on paper. Both are neck-and-neck in the table on the back of identical
overall records. On one hand, you have a side that is undefeated at home. On
the other, you have a side that is almost just as good on the road and
certainly good enough to challenge for a road win. So how does one decide where
to place their soccer picks?

Coin toss?

Truth be told this is a match that could go
either way, although Sportsbooks are
not tipping it as such with Juventus at solid -138 soccer odds to win outright and Napoli at rather large odds of +375,
and that can be confusing. What this means for soccer betting fans h is that there is value on both sides of the
coin. You could do no worse than back either for the win or, for that matter,
settle down to the draw seeing how evenly matched these two sides are and how
important this clash is to both.

That being said we like Napoli just that
little bit better because their game has been slightly more convincing. And
their odds are just too tempting to ignore so we recommend that yo back Napoli with your sports picks to win
outright at +375.
